Chapter 225 The Mysterious Woman
A few minutes later, the people from the Special Management Bureau finally arrived. After setting up a cordon, they focused on the aftermath.
"...Captain Li, is this alien so fierce?"
A staff member couldn't help but feel a little nervous when looking at Li Muhan with a bruised face and nose. Li Muhan's strength was obvious to all in the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau. Even Chang Yue and Lin Ze praised him highly, especially Chang Yue, who even intended to accept Li Muhan as his disciple.
But now this super rookie was treated like this during an ordinary field mission.
The staff member of the Special Management Bureau couldn't help but feel terrified.
He was also a newcomer and had originally thought that low-level employees like them would not encounter any dangerous tasks, but it seemed that it was true that the money of the Special Management Bureau was earned with lives.
Li Muhan didn't know how to explain to this guy, is this alien fierce? Not bad, one sword kills it in seconds.
But if I say that this face was hit by my girlfriend, wouldn’t that be a bit too embarrassing?
"...Well, just think of that alien as being very powerful."
In the end, he could only pat his shoulder and sigh helplessly, hoping that the young man would stop asking questions.
The white-haired girl transformed by the cat demon was still sleeping. It seemed that her resurrection and the demonic energy accumulated over the years had all returned to her body in one breath, causing her considerable burden.
The people from the medical department had already taken her away, and they looked at Li Muhan and asked.
"Want to apply for an annual pass?"
Li Muhan waved at them.
With the help of Monk Zhong Ya's explanation, Xia Yue finally believed Li Muhan. At this moment, she folded her hands in front of her as if she had done something wrong.
"......sorry."
She whispered.
Li Muhan looked back at Xia Yue. Although this girl had a rather bad temper, she would not deny her mistake. After realizing that it was her misunderstanding, she immediately apologized to Li Muhan.
"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding. Besides, there are always couples who don't fight."
He reached out and ruffled Xia Yue's hair.
The girl was wearing a loose, off-shoulder coat, and her figure looked even smaller against the backdrop of the thick coat.
"But...but you...if you want to go on a mission, you should tell me first. I'm your guardian."
"...Uh, it's a guarantor. Changing the word completely changes the nature of the word."
Li Muhan scratched his head. It would be terrible if she became his guardian.
The people from the Special Management Bureau have sent the old man to the hospital, and several other teams are visiting every household in the vicinity. If anyone has witnessed what happened tonight, their memory will be erased and their communication equipment will be checked to see if there is any video footage left.
Therefore, it is very important to set up a boundary decree before the mission.
Now the engineering department is already working on a domain decree that can be deployed and moved at any time, just like the Blood Moon Church. Mo Qiao seemed to have been stimulated by something and started competing with the Blood Moon Church's spherical device. She has locked herself in the workshop for two days and two nights. I believe that with her wisdom, this technology will be put into use soon.
"...Xia Yue."
The wound on Li Muhan's face had healed. He took Xia Yue's hand and led her aside. After making sure that no other members of the Special Management Bureau could hear their conversation, Li Muhan spoke cautiously.
"Do you...know what kind of weirdo Director Lin is?"
Li Muhan’s question made Xia Yue stunned for a moment, then she began to think and finally shook her head.
"have no idea."
"Are you never curious?"
"I used to be curious, but now I'm not interested."
...I have to say that Xia Yue is really a bit thick-skinned, but from a certain perspective, this is also a good thing.
For an immortal being, if he cares about everything, he will be exhausted from living.
"Why are you suddenly asking about Lin Ze?"
Xia Yue asked, Li Muhan pondered for a moment... and finally decided to tell Xia Yue.
"Just now...I seemed to see Lin Ze."
His mind recalled the woman with disheveled hair, tattered clothes and bare feet that he had seen behind Zhong Ya just now.
Those eyes...that face, it was clearly Lin Ze.
But how could that be possible? He later asked the members of the Special Management Bureau who came to support him, and they found out that Lin Ze had been handling official documents in the Special Management Bureau and had never left.
Then...who did Li Muhan just see?
"Does Lin Ze have any brothers or sisters?"
After hearing what Li Muhan said about what happened just now, Xia Yue asked.
Li Muhan shook his head.
"I don't know, but... I don't feel like they are sisters. I've seen that look in Lin Ze's eyes before."
Just when she twisted the earth dragon's head off with her bare hands...she turned around and looked at herself with the same look as the woman in the rain.
What made Li Muhan feel even more strange was that the woman had been standing behind Zhong Ya for a long time, but neither he nor Zhong Ya was aware of her existence.
It was not until she raised the knife and was about to swing it that Li Muhan suddenly noticed her figure.
"Then... should we ask Lin Ze directly?"
Xia Yue asked.
Li Muhan thought about it and finally nodded. He couldn't sleep well if he didn't figure out this matter.
But at this moment, at a sewer opening that no one noticed, a piece of rotten meat separated from the injured country of the monkey slowly entered the sewer through the drainage pipe and completely disappeared underground in the city.
......
"Wu Qin, the investigation results are out. The alien that injured people last night was indeed the Tai Sui that escaped from your laboratory."
The staff of the Supervisory Office placed the report on Wu Qin's desk.
"Oh, what about Tai Sui?"
There was no expression on Wu Qin's face. He just looked at the report indifferently, indifferent to every word in it.
"He was killed on the spot by Li Muhan, the captain of the seventh team."
"...Team Seven, Li Muhan, um... maybe this is also some kind of fate."
"The president of the Science Council keeps talking about fate all the time. I really don't know what's going on in your head."
A voice sounded from the office door. After hearing this voice, several staff members of the Supervisory Office immediately stood up and looked respectfully at the person who walked in.
When this person arrived, even Wu Qin, who usually had a blank expression on his face, frowned, then stood up and bowed slightly.
"...Director Lin."
"Relax, I'm not here to accuse you. Although the alien last night caused the deaths of two minors, they were caught in the act, so it's not too difficult to deal with. I came to you for another matter, Wu Qin. How far have you progressed in studying the fragments of the Heart of the World that were dug out from the bodies of Huo Tian and Zhou Zhiguo?"
"...exploratory phase."
"Well, I remember the Bureau's order at the time was for the Science Council and the Engineering Department to jointly research the Heart of the World fragment. However, the Director of the Engineering Department responded that they hadn't received any research reports from the Science Council, and they hadn't even seen the fragment. So, can you tell me... where the fragment went?"
Wu Qin adjusted his glasses and then looked at the broken petri dish.
Lin Ze probably understood what he meant and sighed, and Wu Qin spoke first.
"Director Lin, your existence is different from other aliens. I believe you should understand my approach."
"Xiao Wu... having a spirit of scientific exploration is a good thing, but you must remember that you are a scholar, not a creator. Of course, I understand that the biggest dream of researchers like you is to create a unique work of art, but what you are doing now may put both humanity and the Special Management Bureau in a very dangerous position."
She waved her hand.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, you are temporarily suspended from your duties while under investigation. It's been so many years, you should take a break. Your work will be temporarily handed over to the vice president."
In fact, this was already a very polite way of handling the matter. Wu Qin understood, Lin Ze understood, and the people in the Supervisory Council also understood that they were here to bring charges and to arrest Wu Qin.
But Lin Ze's intervention turned the arrest into a suspension.
Although they felt something was amiss, several people from the Supervisory Council didn't say anything.
"Let Wu Hui... Wu Qin leave first. An official announcement of his punishment will be made soon."
Lin Ze said this to several people from the Supervisory Council, and they immediately made a gesture of invitation to Wu Qin.
"Director Lin, I will show you that I am right."
Wu Qin placed his work ID on the table, then took off his glasses and research coat, and followed the people from the Supervisory Council out of the office.
"Being obsessed with absolute correctness is a big taboo for researchers, Xiao Wu."
Lin Ze looked at Wu Qin's back as he was taken away and sighed.
